Parades are so much fun when you’re a kid.

Lily went to her first parade over the weekend and I think it was almost more than she could take in, but she enjoyed it.

From the horses to the floats to the candy, there was always something to look at and something to do.

When floats played music, we danced. When there was something being handed out, we wanted it. When the big vehicles honked their horns or backfired, we ran into daddy’s arms for safety.

We all had a great time, but I never realized how much work a parade was before. Keeping Lily entertained wasn’t an issue, but she was always on the move. By the end of the parade, I was ready to take a nap!
